Going, Going, Back, Back…

To Venezuela.

Here’s a two-part series on Venezuela, digging into the efforts by the CIA, as well as the Trump administration, to topple the Socialist President Nicholas Maduro. Since 1998, when Hugo Chavez took control of Venezuela, “it is like Iran, a couple hundred miles downwind from Miami,” says Mike Benz, former cybersecurity officer for the U.S. State Department.

Here we learn about Operation Absolute Resolve, the U.S. raid that led to the capture of Maduro. But there were earlier covert monkey business as well, including Operation Gideon. This foiled armed incursion into Venezuela, in 2020, also aimed to capture Maduro. A Canadian mercenary Jordan Goudreau was involved in that effort,  drawing upon assistance from a Trump security officer — Keith Schiller.

There are many other players here, from government agencies to oil companies and even airlines. Each of these two installments is roughly an hour and a half — so there’s quite a bit of depth and ground covered.

Behind Trump’s Fraud Claims?

Are our elections being hijacked by foreign entities? That’s what numerous MAGA pundits, including Juan O’Savin and Patrick Byrne, have alleged over the past month. And here’s a whistleblower, Gary Berntsen, who vindicates their position.

In this video, released last year, Berntsen claims that Venezuela — joined by Communist China, Cuba and Serbia — conspired to rig the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Berntsen says rigged voting machines manufactured in China are central to this fraud. Multiple companies that conducted the election used the machines. What they have in common? Berntsen says they incorporate programming from Smartmatic, a company now based in London, but originally from Caracas, Venezuela.

The election results, Berntsen says, “were allowed to be altered without the knowledge of the voters and the public.” These machines could not produce an infinitive level of votes, but could swing results “up to 3 to 5 percent.”

Berntsen says this was but one of a number of vote tallying schemes employed to elect leftists. He is a former CIA official, serving in Afghanistan, where he was chief of the Hezbollah Operation. He has done investigations and intelligence gathering for many other federal agencies, including the FBI, the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security.

Smartmatic has sued several individuals who presented these claims, among them, My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell and former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani. But on the flip side, three current and former officials of the company have been charged in the United States under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for a scheme that involves bribery. President Donald Trump has strongly hinted he will yet contest the outcome of the 2020 Presidential election. It remains to be seen if he will do so.
